This invention relates to water tanks.

The principal obj ect of this invention is to provide a tank suitable for an artificial lily ool.

) A further object of the invention is to provide a tank of such a construction that the same may be desirably anchored and fitted with an upper edge in order to provide for an artistic rim, such as is to be used in formal A gardens.

A still further object is to provide suitable supports for said rim. It is obvious that the tank may be utilized for other purposes than that of a lily pool if so desired.

With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a top plan View of the device.

Figure 2 is a cross section of a part of Fig.

1 taken on line 2 2.

Figure 3 is a cross section taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the device with part broken away. Y i

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that I have provided a tank 1. This tank 1 is preferably made of metal and has outwardly diverging side wallsy 2. This tank is proy vided with an inlet 3 and an outlet 4. The upper edge of the tank 1 is provided with a plurality of frame sections 5 extending outwardly around the sides and ends of the tank 1. These sections may be secured together by any ordinary means such as bolts. In order that these sections 5 when in place around the upper edge of the tank 1 may not move from this desired position I have provided angle members 6 which are welded to the under side of the frame sections 5. These frameV sections 5 are provided with an upfl turned ange 7. By referring to Fig. 4 it PATENT OFFICE 1930. Serial No. 447,389.

will be seen that the tank 1 is shown positioned in the ground 8. It will be seen that the under side of the frame sections 5 now rest upon the ground 8. In order to give the tank 1 an artistic and pleasing effect as well as to protect the edge of the same, these frame sections 5 carry bricks 9 forming a pleasing border for the tank 1.

In order that the tank 1 may be properly anchored I have provided anchor members 10 which are preferably made of metal and welded to the lower corners of the tank 1 and project beyond the base portion of the tank 1, in order to provide anchorage by means f of the weight of the ground 8 resting upon the 35 By referring to the drawings it will be seen that the bricks 9 form a brick border fitting closely against said up-turned flange 7. It will also be seen that the anchor members l0 70 are caused to provide desirable anchorage not only due to the projection beyond the base portion of the tank 1 but also due to the added weight of the bricks 9.

What I claim is 1. In a device of the class described, a metal tank, an inlet and outlet for said tank, a plurality of frame sections extending outwardly around the sides and ends of said tank, a plurality of anchor members welded to the under side of said frame sections, an upturned ange formed on said sections, anchor members welded to each lower corner of said tank and projecting beyond the base portion of said tank, substantially as described.

2. In a device of the class described, a tank, an inlet and outlet for said tank, a plurality of frame sections extending outwardly around the sides and ends of said tank, a U plurality of anchor members secured to the under side of said frame sections, an upturned flange formed on said sections, anchor members secured to each lower corner of said tank and projecting beyond the base portion of said tank, substantially as described.

3. In a device of the class described, a tank, an inlet and outlet for said tank, a plurality of frame sections extending outwardly around the sides and ends of said tank, a 100 plurality of anchor members secured to the under side of said frame sections, an upturned flange, a brick border member positioned upon said sections and tting closely 5 against said upturned flange.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature.
